2020 OpenInfra Foundation Annual Report - OpenInfra Labs
by Allison Price 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Hi everyone, With the end of the year approaching quickly, we’re starting to draft the Open Infrastructure Foundation Annual Report, and I’m looking for a volunteer to help with the OpenInfra Labs update. Our goal is to have the content collected by January 13. We’ll want to include information around the launch, momentum, and milestones that the community has made this year. Any metrics that are available are great to include. Here is last year’s report for reference - https://www.openstack.org/annual-reports/2019-openstack-foundation-annual-r… <https://www.openstack.org/annual-reports/2019-openstack-foundation-annual-r…> Let me know who can help out. Thanks! Allison Allison Price Open Infrastructure Foundation allison(a)openstack.org

Proposal: Relocating Open Infra Labs from Gitlab to Github
by Daitzman, Michael S 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

I wanted to have a discussion about relocating our gitlab content to github so that we may better track MOC and OI Labs work on a single project board. Problem Description Historically the Mass Open Cloud repositories have existed github as have the Harvard and BU repositories being used for the NERC. In addition, other team's working on related projects have voiced a preference for github. This creates friction for the dev team's because Open Infra Labs was set up in gitlab and it is, for example, difficult to track the work on a single project board. We have been tracking the details in this ticket: https://github.com/CCI-MOC/ops-issues/issues/39 Proposed solution including issues which need to be resolved We propose relocating open infra labs gitlab content to an Openinfralabs github location. Assuming we move forward we would like to do so before more processes become baked into our use of gitlab. Known issues/steps: • confirm web site may be driven from github and schedule migration • moving content over • import issues - bring over discussions • redirect repositories to github • update openinfralabs web site with links Alternatives & History Some history – initially we created the repository in the opendev and migrated to git in response to feedback from various operators. We chose gitlab at the time because of the perception it is more open then github. Other options: 1. Continue with current state – keeping OpenInfra Labs on gitlab. 2. Migrate MOC/NERC etc. to gitlab. This would be difficult both because of the size of existing repositories, need for retraining and the number of processes already built around the github model. 3. Revisit opendev – at this time it does not address the ease of access issues initially raised by operators. I will summarize this note in irc and point to both the ticket and this email. Thanks! Michael. --- Michael Daitzman (He/Him) msd(a)bu.edu cell:978-201-9965

Wednesday Dec 16 Open Infralabs Monitoring Meeting
by Daitzman, Michael S 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Wednesday Dec 16, 2020 (9AM – 10AM Boston Time, UTC 2pm-3pm) https://bostonu.zoom.us/j/95680241139?pwd=S01qQjg5MFVCNlR4VFNQVW1MZnBQZz09&… Agenda: 1. The Scalable Metal Service: Open infrastructure for the open community. Here's a short overview on a project to provide free access to bare metal compute infrastructure, mediated by OpenStack, for supporting development in the open source community. The Scalable Metal Service is inspired by previous projects. Putting the service aside, the implementation itself is intended to be a showcase for new capabilities - multi-tenant bare metal, bare metal Kubernetes, resource reservation, monitoring, preemption. 2. Proposal to sleep this meeting for a several months – overlap with telemetry meeting may make this lower priority. Augustine, Kristi and Naved are all alternative hosts if they are logged into their BU Zoom accounts. Michael Daitzman is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

We are meeting this Wednesday -- Randy George is going to give us a demo of Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes – here is a description of it: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management) provides the tools and capabilities to address common challenges that administrators and site reliability engineers face as they work across a range of environments, including multiple datacenters, private clouds, and public clouds that run Kubernetes clusters. Using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management), you can: * Easily provision Kubernetes clusters and offer complete cluster lifecycle management (create, upgrade, destroy) from a single console. Discover and onboard existing clusters into a consistent management domain. * Use policies to automatically configure and maintain consistency of security controls required by industry or self-imposed corporate standards. * Deploy and maintain day 2 operations of business applications distributed across your cluster landscape.

Reminder: Open Telemetry Working Group
by Daitzman, Michael S 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

As you may know, the Open Cloud Workshop<https://massopen.cloud/events/2020-open-cloud-workshop/> (formerly Mass Open Cloud Workshop) held in March kicked off a shift to a focus broader than the MOC - a constellation of related projects<https://massopen.cloud/2020-open-cloud-workshop-follow-up-opportunities-to-…> we’ve started to call the Open Cloud Initiative. Coming out of the Workshop, we established a monthly meeting of representatives from each of the efforts. During these monthly discussions, questions on telemetry became a theme which would be a good area of focus for a working group. We identified two potential leads, Raja Sambasivan, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, Tufts University, and Marcel Hild, Engineering Manager, AI CoE, CTO Office Kiel Area, Red Hat, both of whom accepted our request to lead this working group (Thanks Raja and Marcel!). You are receiving this email because we’d like to invite you to participate in this group. Work has been started on developing a charter and there are lots of ideas on the next steps. We are holding the Telemetry Working Group kick-off meeting on December 8, 2020 from 9:30 - 10:30 AM EST. For now, we will set up the meeting to run bi-weekly. December 8, 2020 Agenda 1.
